Gino Marchetti played 14 seasons with the same team under three different team names: the New York Yanks, the Dallas Texans, and the Baltimore Colts. In 1969 he was selected by the Football Hall of Fame as “the greatest defensive end in pro football history.”
In 1959, Marchetti joined with several of his teammates, including Alan Ameche, and opened a fast food restaurant. The business grew, began to franchise, and would eventually become known as Gino’s Hamburgers. It was a successful East Coast regional fast food chain and had 313 company-owned locations when they were sold to Marriott International in 1982 and became Roy Rogers restaurants.
